VOICED : El Pentagono libera USD 3.600 millones para muro en frontera con Mexico

The Pentagon plans to allocate $3.6 billion to expand and strengthen the border wall with Mexico, delaying 127 military projects. This funding is part of President Trump's efforts to combat illegal immigration, a central theme of his administration. The wall will cover 280 kilometers across Arizona, California, and Texas. In February, Trump declared a national emergency to bypass Congress for wall funding. The Pentagon has not disclosed which projects are delayed, prioritizing informing state representatives first. Since late 2018, many have fled Central America's Northern Triangle due to violence and poverty, which Trump has labeled an invasion.
